President’s Corner

As we welcome 2019 and get started with this New Year’s plans, we would like to thank you for your membership in KONL.  I hope you will look for KONL to find information and to offer input about our nursing practice. Your support is critical to advancing the nursing profession in Kentucky and influencing those in the United States as we network with one another.

We offer several means to do this:

• Visit our website at www.kyonl.com
• Attend our May meeting held in conjunction with the Ky. Hospital Association Annual Meeting usually held the second or third Friday in May (check site for dates).
• Attend our Fall Leadership Conference held by KONL usually in September or October (check sites for dates).
• Participate in your District Meetings.
• Let you voice be heard as KONL speaks up on legislative proposed bills and issues. They do listen, especially if we speak as a large group!
• Find some financial help with furthering your education by applying for a KONL scholarship (see website for application information).
• Read our quarterly newsletter to find out about meetings, legislature, and other happenings in nursing leadership!
• Join KONL and have a VOICE in Kentucky nursing!

And from all of us at KONL…Thank you for all you do every day. Nurses are AWESOME!
